My preceding email to Jon was not sent to this list, but the patch in
question was the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW hack discussed in the "raise-frame
doesn't work in Fedora Core 4" thread on emacs-devel. Apparently, the
hack has bad side-effects.
If this causes serious problems on some systems, we have to take it out.
But please don't delete the code. Please put #if 0 around it,
and add another comment explaining the particulars of this problem.
That might help us some time in the future figure out a better solution.
